5th Grade!!! 2016-2017 School Year

What?!  How can this be?!  5th Graders already?!  Time is flying and these two are growing up too fast.  We are so proud of them for taking on their new responsibilities this year.  We had a great morning!  The kids got up on time, packed their own lunches, and did their morning chores.  They were both ready before it was time to leave for our walk to school.  

Treetops 5th and 6th graders are trying something new this year.  The kids aren't using backpacks.  So all they have to take each day is their pencil case, lunch box, and water bottle.  And the teachers are trying to ensure that the kids won't have homework this year.  Most, if not all, of their work will be done on computers.  Our campus is working really hard on being more green and going paperless.  

And I am so happy to report that their class sizes are small.  There are about 11 kids in each 5th grade class.  That means more one on one time for each kiddo! The kids are in separate classes and will split their day between three teachers. The other cool part is, they had each teacher last year as well.

And now day 1 of the first day of their 5th grade year is in the books!  They all said that it was a good day!  Emma said it was stressful, but good.  And Henry said it was just busy.  Not stressful.  

I am really going to try to keep the blog updated this year.  So come back and see us!
